Our FAQs answer the most important questions about training in our strength and fitness hall.
Initial Admission
Are you new here? Then you've come to the right place! We will explain how you can sign-up with us so that nothing stands in the way of your fitness journey.
You can book tickets on the University Sports Website in the Strength and Fitness Hall section. Here you will find the Ticket booking page.
If you are signing up for the first time, you must first book the “initial admission” service fee. This service fee costs €25 and is charged once* in order to create an account in our booking system and thus gain access to ticket booking. We also offer our new members a complimentary introductory coaching session, which is included in this package.
Alternatively, you also have the option of registering directly in-person at the Strength and Fitness Hall. You can then start training immediately afterwards. *Due to the system, a validity period of 12 months is noted when booking the ticket; however, the “initial admission” service fee is only charged once.
When booking, I am always redirected to a 12-month contract. Why is that?
If you are signing up for the first time, you must first book the “initial registration” service fee. This service fee costs €25 and is charged once* in order to create an account in the booking system and thus gain access to ticket booking. If you have not yet booked this, our booking system will automatically redirect you to the booking page for the service fee "ticket".
If you have already booked and paid for the “First Admission” service fee, you may have entered different contact information when booking it than the contact information you entered when booking a new ticket. In this case, ask about this in person at the Strength and Fitness Hall and we will correct it. *Due to the system, a validity period of 12 months is noted when booking the ticket; however, the “initial admission” service fee only has to be paid once.
It says online that the ‘initial registration’ service fee is only valid for 12 months.
Unfortunately, the 12-month period is a system-related matter, but it will be automatically extended. So don't worry, the ‘initial registration’ service package is a one-time payment and does not expire.
How often is the ‘initial registration’ ticket due?
The ‘initial registration’ ticket, costing €25, is payable once when you first register with us.
Tickets & booking
Would you like to become a long-term customer? Great! That's what we want too! To ensure you know exactly how and where to get a ticket, you will find all the important information here.
Immediately after booking, your ticket will be displayed. It is recommended to take a screenshot.
You will also receive your ticket, along with the payment details for the bank transfer, by email. Click on the highlighted link “view here,” enter your email address once more, and you will be redirected to your ticket. You can either print it and present it manually or show a screenshot.
No. When you first register and at the beginning of each new semester, you must present proof of status (student ID/certificate of enrolment or employee ID). Once this has been checked by a trainer, you do not need to present it again for the rest of the semester.
Your ticket can only be paused in exceptional cases. If you are unable to train for more than 6 weeks due to illness or injury, you may pause your ticket by presenting a medical certificate.
Currently, payment is only possible via bank transfer.
The necessary payment details can be found on your ticket, which will be sent to you by email after booking. Please don’t forget to include the payment references. Otherwise, we cannot assign your payment. If you can only specify one reference, write both references one after the other.
If you can’t book a ticket online, it usually means that you have forgotten to pay for your ticket twice in a row, and it was therefore canceled. In this case, please contact our director, Dr. Dennis Murr, by email.
Of course, there may be other reasons. Just stop by, and we’ll be happy to help!
General information
Who? How? When? We have summarised all the information for you here.
Wearing closed shoes and placing a towel on the equipment is mandatory. Glass bottles are not allowed on the training floor.
We also ask that you return used training equipment and wipe it down with a disinfectant cloth. Friendly and respectful interaction is our top priority so that everyone feels comfortable.
No, unfortunately training is only permitted from the age of 18. The only exception is students of the University of Tübingen who are under 18. Please bring a declaration of consent by the legal guardian.
What is “cleaning week” and will my ticket be extended?
During cleaning week, the Strength and Fitness Hall is thoroughly cleaned. This intensive cleaning usually takes place twice a year and lasts 4–6 days.
Tickets are not automatically extended. We see cleaning week as a service for our members.
Since we value fair working hours, we need to close ftor a few days to avoid night shifts.
More information can be found in our Terms of Use. Thank you for your understanding!

Will I be supervised by a trainer during trial training?
Unfortunately, we do not have the staff capacity to supervise you personally during trial training. However, after registering, you can always book an introductory session erhalten.
To book an introductory session, you first need to become a customer. That means you need to purchase the "initial registration"-ticket(€25, one-time fee), which registers you in our system and gives you access to ticket booking.

On your “Initial Registration” ticket, you’ll find a button/link leading to our booking page.
Select your preferred date, click “Book,” and follow the website steps.
You will receive a confirmation email with a link to your ticket.

Content of the session: During our introductory training session, you will learn important basic exercises using equipment as well as key training principles, so that nothing stands in the way of your training in our strength and fitness hall. You will also receive an introductory training plan.
Important: Our introduction is aimed at people who are just starting to train. We therefore primarily demonstrate exercises on the equipment. If you want to learn exercises with free weights (e.g. squats, bench presses or deadlifts), we recommend that you attend one of our workshops or book a coaching session. The training plan is aimed at people whose goal is to start equipment-based strength training. If you have specific goals, such as targeted training for a particular sport/discipline, we ask you to arrange a coaching session. We can then select the right trainer for your needs.
